Autocomplete field

[capellan]

Hi all,

Visit the webpage:
http://www.capellan2000.000space.com/test05.html
and download the stack:
http://capellan2000.000space.com/autocomplete_names.zip

I am looking for ideas to make better the code of
these autocomplete fields. 

Notice that in this example, both fields have the same names
list, but actual stack will use two different lists.

Steps to use this stack:
1) Click in the first top field, (names list field is show)
and start typing the name.

According you type, the names list scrolls to
the name whose first letters match.
(This handler is a variation of a script posted
by Klaus Major and archived in Ken Ray's site)

Notice that, just like some web browsers do,
you could keep writing and the field will 
a) show a new name from the list or 
b) leave the field, as no more match are found
(I like this part)

Sometimes while writing, you could see in the
name list field the name that you want to type.
In this case, you could use the bottom arrowkey 
to "jump" towards the names list field:

on arrowkey tKey
if tKey is "down"
then
click at (left of fld id 1004 + 20),(top of fld id 1004 + 10)
else
pass arrowkey
end if
end arrowkey

Effectively, i send a synthetic "Click"
to activate the names list field.
Using the command "Focus" do not
work as expected:focus on fld id 1004

In fact, when i use "focus" the field
does not allow to select new names
using the arrowkeys (up and down),
but sending a click on the field, allows
to use arrowkeys in the names list field.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Alejandro
